The legs have it
There’s another election this week—and it might be more popular than the student body races. That’s because this one deals with beauty and ugliness, knock-kneed chicks and gawking spectators. Its called the Ugly Man and Beautiful Legs contest. Any student may vote but only by contributing money in jars under pictures of each candidate. Sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega and Phrateres, the contest continues through Wednesday.

YAF opposes Rubin; ASSC rejects review
By RICH WISEMAN Assistant city editor
The ASSC Executive Council rejected a motion to reconsider its funding of Jerry Rubin’s proposed appearance on campus in its meeting yesterday.
The vote followed a verbal lashing of the council by Pat Nolan, Young Americans for Freedom member. YAF opposes the appearance of Rubin.
“I’m Goddam sick and tired of the council’s refusal to respect students’ wishes,” he said. “You sit up here like half-assed idiots. You better knuckle under to the pressure of the people.
“We don’t want Rubin here.”
Nolan calmed down when Mark Savit, ASSC vice-president for academic affairs, had to be restrained from getting up and walking out of the meeting. The YAF member then demanded the funding of a conservative speaker of equal prominence to debate Rubin.
Fred Minnes, ASSC president, ruled a similar motion from council member Loyd Kirk out of order because no conservative speaker had then been approached. Only after a speaker has committed himself to appear can the council decide whether to fund him, Minnes said.
Kirk indicated interest in obtaining William F. Buckley.
Kirk, who made the motion to reconsider Rubin’s funding, said he did so because he objects to the ASSC’s implied endorsement of the Chicago Seven defendant.
He said money could be raised for Rubin in other ways.
“I think it’s unfair to ask any student to subsidize the Jerry Rubin show,” he said. “If it gains support of students, the appearance would be able to stand on its own feet financially-
“I won’t block his coming here. I’m just concerned with the business aspect.”
“If $1,200 is spent on Rubin, it’s a tragedy, but if $2 million is spent cn football it isn’t a tragedv.” Savit said in rebuttal.
“I think it’s absurd to take
the funding as an endorsement. Academic milque-toast is what this university is.”
Stan Diorio, graduate representative, added, “If we deny the free flow of ideas, we’re in pretty bad shape.”
“When Rubin gets on USC and he can’t get on Berkeley I think it’s a great credit to USC,” Bill Hesse, graduate representative, said.
In other action, the group unanimously passed a by-law on standing university commit-
tees, calling for increased student membership. The by-law mad been passed by the University Senate.
There are 17 standing committees. Student membership ranges from two on the Buildings and Grounds Committee to 10 on the Great Issues Forum Committee.
The by-law further states that applications shall be made available to all students registered at the university and in good academic standing.
Risk factor could cancel Rubin speech
By MARY ANN GALANTE
Dr. Paul Bloland, vice-president of Student and Alumni Affairs, said yesterday that the April 15 speech of Jerry Rubin will be cancelled if the possibility of risk develops.
“Should the situation become extraordinary, the university has the right and the responsibility to cancel the speech,” Bloland said yesterday.
Rubin, leader of the Youth International Party, is one of the Chicago 7 convicted of inciting riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention. He is scheduled to speak April 15 as part of Vietnam Moratorium Day activities.
Bloland said the university neither approves nor disapproves of Rubin making an appearance. He said that under Section D of the Speaker’s (Policy, Rubin does not need the administration’s approval to speak.
Security plans for the Moratorium were discussed yesterday by iBloland and student leaders.
Jeff 'Ullman, campus coordinator for the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, said he expects between 2,000 and 5,000 people to attend Rubin’s speech.
“We’re not publicizing the speech outside the university, but we won’t stop anyone from coming,” said Ullman. Admission will not be charged.
Rubin’s speech will probably be held outdoors, Ullman said.
The Moratorium Committee is also sponsoring speeches that day by Mike Tiger, UCLA law attorney and one of the original Chicago defendants, and Bill Williams, chairman of the Center for Social Action.
Ullman said he does not envision any violence resulting from Rubin’s appearance on campus. “I think there will be more violence if Rubin is denied the opportunity to speak here,” he said. “Rubin can’t afford to incite any riots now. He’s out on bail and will be thrown back in if he tries anything.”
The committee will begin events leading up to the moratorium by sponsoring speeches tomorrow in front of Tommy Trojan beginning at 11:45 a.m.
Women to protest Playboy Philosophy
By TEDDI TINDALL
As the Sexual Role Playing Conference continues into its third day, a group of women students announced plans yesterday to demonstrate against a representative of Playboy magazine who speaks today.
Anson (Mount, public affairs director of Playboy, will speak in Bovard Auditorium at noon on the topic, “The Play boy Philosophy: Sexual Liberation or Breast Fetish.”
Lisa Ross, member of Women's Liberation, said that the women’s group and the Student Mobilization Committee would demonstrate against Playboy at 11:50 a.m. outside of Bovard because “Playboy profits off the continual humiliation of women by glorifying the phony stereotypes that oppress both men and women in this society.”
“Women are deprived of their humani-
ty and intelligence by Playboy,” Miss Ross said.
In yesterday’s session of the week-long conference, Dr. Richard Green, of the Gender Identity Clinic ai UCLA, discussed the psychological aspects of unconventional sexuality.
Green has reseached the topic of transexuality at the UCLA clinic for five years. In his speech he explained his work with “females trapped in male bodies.”
He began by distinguishing between the types of unconventional sexuality. “Transvestites dress like the opposite sex and are sexually aroused by this,” he said. “They do not want to change their sex. Most transvestites are married, potent with their wives, and father children.” There is not much data on them, he said, sincc it is estimated that 80 percent of them never see a psychiatrist.
“Homosexuals,” Green said, “recognize no difference between their own sex and
gender. They merely derive gratification from sexual relationships with people of the same sex as themselves.
“Transexuals,” he continued, “will steadfastly deny they are homosexual. A male transexual feels he is psychologically female and that his attraction to males is fundamentally heterosexual. Three-fourths of the people who want to change their sex want to become women.”
Green’s reseach is seeking the causes for transexuality. Many transexuals, he finds, come from homes in which one parent, usually the mother, has clothed her infant son in dresses with bows in his hair and has encouraged him in overt feminine acts.
Effeminate boys are very close to their mothers and in most cases the father is either physically or psychologically absent from the son.
Green states that every male transexual he has interviewed has claimed to
have wanted to be a girl as long as he can remember. This, Green said, is due to their treatment from a few months of age to five years when their sex identity is beginning to form. He said that a certain amount of playing with dolls and dressing in girls clothes is normal in a young boy, but not a three year history of intensive feminine behavior.
Johns Hopkins University began doing transexual operations in 1966. Other universities and doctors are approaching this with caution. As yet there is too much of a moral and religious stigma to overcome before such operations can become a common practice, Green said. And there is always the threat of a malpractice suit. Most transexuals who have the money and the motivation go outside the country to have the sex reassignment operation.
Men who have undergone the operation are able to live normal lives, marry and even adopt children in the states where it is allowed, Green said.
